How Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest Became a July 4 Tradition
Getty ImagesIt's OK to admit that watching people scarf down hot dogs is as much of a Fourth of July tradition as fireworks and cookouts.
What Is Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest?
If you have never seen the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, you are really missing out on some mindless fun.
Contestants from around the globe descend upon Coney Island in New York to see how many hot dogs they can eat in 10 minutes. It's sloppy, simple and yet rather impressive once you see how many hot dogs one person can finish off in that time.
Before you pass judgment, you should know this spectacle has a long history
How The Hot Dog Eating Contest Started
According to Nathan's, the first hot dog eating contest was held between four immigrants on July 4, 1916 outside the brand's first hot dog stand in Coney Island.
"As the story goes, they were competing to see who was the most patriotic," Nathan's explains on its website.
It may have taken a while, but the hot dog eating contest was turned into an annual July 4 event starting in 1972. Several years later, the event gained international attention and an annual spot on ESPN's July 4 lineup.
